Abstract

The contribution describes a research of peculiarities of social perceptions of drugs and addicts among young people, which was based on the ideas of the structural approach of social representations theory (Abric, 2001). The sample group consisted of young people with experience of using injectable and non-injectable drugs (group 1) and without such experience (group 2). 120 people (38 women and 82 men) aged from 16 to 35 (M=23,70, SD=4,30) participated in the research. Initial assumptions of the structure of social representations of drugs and addicts in two groups of young people (with experience of using narcotic drugs and without such experience) were partially empirically proven. The contribution discusses the peculiarities of the structure of representations in each group, makes conclusions about the functions of these representations in each group.
